The Korean Program at Hinkson Christian Academy is unique among international schools. The Korean program was started as result of a growing number of Korean students in our student body, and a realization of the importance in preparing and equipping them for re-entry. In the beginning of the Korean program at Hinkson Christian Academy in the fall of 2002, Suwon Central Christian Academy of South Korea played a very important role in recruiting and sponsoring a full time staff member. Our two previous teachers, Jin Gap Jang (2002-2006) and Seok Kang Cho (2006-2008), were from Suwon CCC. At present, Mrs. Sarah Yoon, a local hire, is in charge of the Korean program.
Program Objectives
